Kant and the Wolffian ars inveniendi -- Conclusion. 520 $a "When, in 1735, Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten added a new discipline to the philosophical system, he not only founded modern aesthetics but also contributed to shaping the modern concept of art or 'fine art'. In The Founding of Aesthetics in the German Enlightenment, Stefanie Buchenau offers a rich analysis and reconstruction of the origins of this new discipline in its wider context of German Enlightenment philosophy. Present-day scholars commonly regard Baumgarten's views as an imperfect prefiguration of Kantian and post-Kantian aesthetics, but Buchenau argues that Baumgarten defended a consistent and original project which must be viewed in the context of the modern debate on the art of invention. Her book offers new perspectives on Kantian aesthetics and beauty in art and science"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Aesthetics, German $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Enlightenment $z Germany. 600 10 $a Wolff, Christian, $c Freiherr von, $d 1679-1754. 600 14 $a Baumgarten, Alexander Gottlieb, $d 1714-1762. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210022252.0 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20140917012634.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=33E2249E3E3011E4861469EFDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
